		<description><![CDATA[Today I was texting an old pal of mine asking how summer was going and how he was doing. Our conversation was sweet and innocent until we got into talking about the Charleston shooting. He told me that what had happened was sad, and I agreed, but I also said that that is a part of life. People live and people die. Then he got testy, telling me that life isn&#8217;t killing innocent people. Obviously I agree. I don&#8217;t think I look like the type of person to be insensitive when it comes to death. So, I replied and said, &#8220;No, life is leaving when it is your time. Even if it is on behalf of someone else. We can&#8217;t live forever.&#8221; This person then asked me how I could possibly think that that is the way God intended for them to die. I didn&#8217;t say that, but right after that point I said something else&#8230; I said, &#8220;I am not God, nor do I PERSONALLY believe that there is one. So, this argument would be invalid on my side and yours. But I think people die when they are supposed to.&#8221; I didn&#8217;t think I said anything wrong. In fact, I figured I said what I needed to say in the best possible way. I am a very cut throat and dry person. If I am thinking it, then I will probably say it. But when I say it, it is going to come out EXACTLY how I intend it to. That is something that is neither a blessing or a curse, to say EXACTLY what you&#8217;re thinking. Instead of this person accepting that I have made the choice to not believe in God, he proceeds to tell me that he &#8220;Must say goodbye if I don&#8217;t believe that there is a God.&#8221; Hold on&#8230; Since when is it or was it ever okay to judge someone based on their disbelief in God? I respect the fact that he believes in God, so why is it completely opposite when someone cannot respect the fact that I do not. I replied to him very calmly and said, &#8220;You knew that, But if you shall judge me based on a lack of belief of your God, I then shall be the bigger person and not judge you based on your higher belief in God.&#8221; I have never thought that I could be judged so much with one thing in my life. Not only that, but since when is it wrong to have an opinion? People usually love and respect how blunt I am because it makes it easier to understand what I want and how or when I want it done. I am not writing this to show the world that being religious is wrong or to show the world that not being religious is right. But I am trying to make a point that I am not a different person just because of one belief. In the conversation we had, I didn&#8217;t change from one person to another just in a sentence that said I wasn&#8217;t religious. That didn&#8217;t make me a better person or a worse person. Had he never known, he would have never cared whether I was religious or not because our friendship didn&#8217;t rely on being religious. I find it ironic that there are some people that won&#8217;t accept who you are, yet they expect you to ignore every single one of their faults as if to make yours seem bigger and worse. I&#8217;ve got 99 problems already, and he is now definitely one of them. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The best thing to ever happened to me as an RN occurred I was taking care of a woman in labor. It was her second baby and she spoke Spanish, so I took her as a patient because I also spoke Spanish. I entered the room and recognized her, she looked at me with wide eyes. So did her sister. And her husband. I recognized the husband. And then they told me, You were our nurse the &#8220;last time&#8221;. But I didn’t remember. But then I did&#8230; She had a baby that had passed away from many fetal abnormalities just a year prior. She was here for delivery of her second baby which was healthy and normal. She started to tear up. So did her sister. I knew it might be awkward, so I decided to ask if she still wanted me to be her nurse because maybe she wanted a more positive experience this time around, and it would have been totally fine because I understood. She responded to me in Spanish – I do want you to be my nurse and I couldn’t go through this again without you. I said, Okay good. Perfect. So I excused myself, went into the hallway and cried. Got it together and went back in the room. We delivered a HEALTHY BABY BOY! I put that baby on her chest. I showed her his body parts. We delayed a lot of the baby measurements and medicating just because I didn’t want to take her baby away. The entire time she cried My son! My son! This is my baby! My baby! This was the most exhilarating delivery and one that I won’t ever forget. &#160; - An Anonymous Nurse from NYC]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Dear Motorcycle Drivers, This is the time of year that you start getting your prized bikes out from the garage and clean them up for a great season of adventure. It is also the time that many people start preaching about safety and being aware of you and your bikes on the road. We hear things like, Watch for motorcycles in the blind spot of your rearview mirror! or, When pulling out at a stop sign&#8230; look twice!! I have to agree that the advice we get is fine and expected. We should be careful and mindful of motorcyclists on the road, I am all for being cautious and keeping everyone safe. But here&#8217;s where I get a bit perturbed with all of this. Here&#8217;s a few questions for you: How about you do your part to keep safe and not weave in and around traffic so that we don&#8217;t unexpectedly hit you, because in normal circumstances, a vehicle wouldn&#8217;t be able to do what you just did? Why do you feel the need for speed when you&#8217;re on one of the most dangerous motor vehicles allowed on the road? And, here&#8217;s a good one, how about you put a freaking helmet on your head to save your life, just incase there is an accident?! Did you ever think of that?! &#160; I know somehow you&#8217;ve managed to get a few legislators in your pocket to pass laws that do not REQUIRE you to wear a helmet (in some states), but &#8230;really, if you&#8217;re not doing your part to be extra cautious and if you&#8217;re not using common sense to protect yourself, why the hell should everyone else have to go out of their way to make sure YOU are safe? Seriously! You actually look stupid when you&#8217;re flying down the road with your gross gorgeous locks flowing in the wind. Newsflash! When you fall off that thing, for whatever reason, you are probably going to smash your head on the ground and it&#8217;s going to be a massive tragedy to you, your family, and friends. I know this because I&#8217;ve been through it &#8211; someone I know and love fell off of their motorcycle and was killed because of a head injury 100% due to the fact that they were NOT wearing a helmet! Don&#8217;t force me to have to go to your bedside at the hospital, or worse, your funeral. I&#8217;m angry and annoyed that I am sad and crying because I can&#8217;t see or talk to you ever again because you made the stupid decision to get on that motorcycle without a helmet. My sadness and your death could have been prevented with one little choice. If you were to ride a go-cart, a bicycle, or even go down hill skiing, you&#8217;re expected, or at least suggested, to have a helmet on. But, somehow you get behind a 100 HP engine and leave it up to fate! WHAT? That&#8217;s STUPID! Believe me, you&#8217;re not THAT cool. And believe me, you REALLY won&#8217;t be very cool when you&#8217;re dead or braindead from not protecting yourself. You have the choice, use your brain (or lack thereof) to make a wise decision and put a helmet on! You can wear all your gear, get your tattoos, buff and shine the chrome on your bike, even buy a flashing headlight that helps cares to see you more easily&#8230;do whatever you like! But please, buy a helmet and wear it! I&#8217;ve already seen and heard of too many fatalities this year, and it&#8217;s only April. To your credit, in some cases a helmet might not save your life, but I think it&#8217;s common sense to have one on. Every time I drive my car I don&#8217;t have an option to wear my seatbelt, I HAVE to do it. Do I look &#8220;cool&#8221; doing it? Not really. But, it shows that I know and understand the law and, more importantly, the consequences of what would happen if I chose not to buckle my seatbelt. I think the least you can do, for safety sake, is to put your helmet on! All of you diehard freedom riders may disagree with me, but I&#8217;m sick and tired of seeing one after another of your brothers or sisters (who was not wearing a helmet) not surviving these accidents and it being blamed on everything BUT not wearing a helmet! So, how about I&#8217;ll buckle-up and you&#8217;ll helmet-up and we&#8217;ll look out for each other and stop this ridiculous nonsense. If I need to do my part to keep you safe by being extra cautious in my car, then you need to drive that thing like a responsible, somewhat intelligent human being and be extra cautious as well. Here&#8217;s my last big of advice: Wear a helmet, follow the rules, listen to my advice, and no one gets hurt. Bottom line: If you chose to not wear a helmet, you are choosing to look like an idiot. Sincerely, A Very Annoyed Angry Frustrated Patient Driver &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I&#8217;m back! Here is my 10 day journey after having a breast augmentation&#8230; Day 1: The day of the surgery was surprisingly simple. The staff was relaxed, the vibe was excited, and the sun was even shining into the pre-op room! As I waited in my surgery gown and the IV was hooked up, I was oblivious to the roller coaster ride ahead of me.  My doctor came in to the room, I met the anesthesiologist, kissed my husband good-bye&#8230;.and I was off to surgery! As I woke up (from what seemed like just moments later) I was alert and asking for my family. I was told that the surgery went great and that I was going to be heading home shortly. I was surprised by my pain level, it was intense! I had an unrealistic idea of this quick and easy outpatient procedure. It was anything but easy! Although it was outpatient, I felt as if I had experienced pretty intensive trauma to my chest! Ouch! Day 2-4: The first few days home were filled with high dosages of percosets, ice packs, minimal movement, and naps! I had to sleep on the couch propped up to avoid increased swelling and pain. What the hell did I sign up for?!? I chose to feel like absolute crap?!? It hurt to move, was difficult to take deep breathes, and worst of all I couldn&#8217;t hold my daughter! Ahhhh. I was feeling emotional and exhausted. I was almost regretting the surgery. Day 5: I was feeling increasingly better. I was able to complete basic tasks, shower without discomfort, make dinner, do the dishes etc. The results were looking great! My breasts were full, proportional, and just as I had hoped. Day 7: It was time to remove my stitches! Yay! I was nearly back to my old self. I was healing well! I had mild bruising, but that was to be expected. The implants are sitting high and are hard as rocks&#8230;yikes. I&#8217;m praying these puppies start to feel and look more natural. Day 10: I am feeling great! My swelling is minimal, my body and energy is almost back to 100% and I slept on my side last night! (It&#8217;s the little things haha). I&#8217;m beginning to massage them and do stretches to help the implants to settle (move into a more natural location). I opted for the 385cc and they look very natural on my frame. It is a drastic improvement from what I had, but I feel as if they would go unnoticed by a stranger. I am becoming incredibly excited to go buy new swim suits/bras/new tops (and throw away the old padded bras, lol). I believe that the choice to have a breast augmentation was the right decision for me. I feel womanly, curvatious and my body no longer looks like the aftermath of baring a child. Although, I still have a few months before I will know my end results, I am on the right track!

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Upon leaving the consultation for a breast augmentation, I was consumed with excitement, frustration, and slight disappointment. The excitement was because the doctor seemed wonderful! He was educated, friendly, and comforting. The doctor made the suggestion of a silicone textured implant; his reasoning came from my body structure and proportions. However, as the doctor left the room the reality of the financial quote hit my husband and I! Wow!!!! This is even more expensive then we expected. Can we justify this cost for cosmetic surgery? We spent the day discussing the pros and cons. The conversation even became heated, as many financial discussions can when so much is at stake! The following day I spent my workday with this potential plan playing around in my mind! And when I thought about it, I was picturing myself doing it; I pictured the results! I know that I could easily trash the idea and just put our money towards our family, however, I have done that and will continue to do that for the majority of my life. I deserve to do something just for me! (Not that my husband won&#8217;t benefit, lol.) I bared my child and nursed her in the wee hours of the night, I dedicated every ounce of my energy to her little life, and that won&#8217;t change by giving me the body I want to have! That was the decision I made. All of the anxieties didn&#8217;t outweigh the excitement about feeling like a sexy woman again; not just a mother, but a WOMAN. I called my doctor and booked the surgery. Here I am two weeks before the date and I could not feel better about my decision! I&#8217;m ready to feel the way I felt before I was just a wife and mother. I think that I am confident in many aspects of my life; I&#8217;m intelligent, career driven, nurturing, and I try to be a respectful and genuine person to everyone I meet. It&#8217;s time for my body to match the internal confidence. Motherhood and giving birth is the most magical experience of my life; I would not change a thing about that life miracle! But, the damage it leaves in it&#8217;s wake is less than desirable, and every woman had the right to do whatever she can to feel desirable again! Stay tuned to learn about the surgery &#38; recovery!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I feel like these two things do not go well together. Anybody else? Having anxiety is one thing, and being pregnant is another. But having both&#8230;is a whole new ball game. I could go on and on, but someone who understands/has/deals with someone with anxiety knows how awful and traumatic and debilitating it can be. Now if you&#8217;ve ever been pregnant WITH anxiety you&#8217;ll understand everything I say in this blog. Pregnant women tend to carry a little bit of anxious tendencies to begin with. Worried and wondering about child birth, starting or adding to their family, picking a pediatrician and so on. But let me tell you a little bit about what a pregnant woman with pretty bad anxiety lives like. I am pregnant, but not far along (which is why this post is anonymous ). When I&#8217;m not pregnant I worry about what I&#8217;m going to make for dinner, or what I&#8217;m going to dress our toddler in for the day, or having enough time before nap time to get all the errands fitted in. Those are common everyday stresses for me. Now that I&#8217;m pregnant, it&#8217;s times a hundred. And keep in mind that this is NOT my first pregnancy! When you find out you&#8217;re pregnant and you call your doctor to make an appointment, and they schedule it 2 weeks out&#8230;that gives me anxiety. Worrying what if something happens before that?? Don&#8217;t they know that I&#8217;m an anxiety ridden person that needs answers RIGHT NOW?!? I neeeeed to know that everything&#8217;s ok. When they have my chart/information in front of them and still offer me a 2pm appointment = ANXIETY! Don&#8217;t they know I have a 2 year old that needs to nap, isn&#8217;t that an average nap time?! Thinking about afterwards, coming home with a newborn and a toddler, gives me anxiety. It makes me wonder if I can do it all. If I will be enough for two little dependent human beings. How will I run all of the errands with not just 1, but 2 kids now?!? I am very stubborn and refuse help at any circumstance and insist that I can &#8216;do it all!!&#8217; (I am superwoman too if I didn&#8217;t mention that already ). Thinking about all the people that will want to stop and visit and hold my new precious little bundle, gives me severe anxiety!! (I know that I&#8217;m not due for a while still, but this is stuff that my anxiety will not let me subdue). I immediately think about all the sickness that&#8217;s been going around, colds and coughs and runny noses, pneumonia, and stomach viruses, and these people are going to want to TOUCH MY KID! Aghhhhhh!!! I may be a second-time mommy, but I bet my anxiety would fool anyone to believing it was my first time. Thinking about everyone wanting to sit and stay for hours and just holding my baby just throws me into a whole new dimension of nuts!! Haha  I want to sit and hold him/her! I am damn proud of my little family and want us to have our time together, letting my little one get to know my new littlest one. When people tell me, &#8230;it&#8217;s ok, no need to get all worked up!! I wanna scream  I read an article this morning about dealing with a person with anxiety and a list of things to consider/understand and I will link it down below. Mental Illness is not something that can just be &#8220;dropped&#8221; because it&#8217;s inconvenient. It is something that I not only live with, but so does everyone around me. It&#8217;s something that my husband tries very hard to understand and he has been so patient in working with me and my &#8220;issues&#8221;, if you will. I know someone may read this and think this girl needs medicated!! And maybe I do need some kind of therapy of some sort, but me dealing with it in my own way is part of the quest for me. I need to be able to conquer each and every task, every single day, in my own way and on my own time. This is where the stubbornness comes in again. Am I the only person who goes through this?!? Sometimes I feel like that&#8217;s the case, but I know it&#8217;s not. For more advice/tips on how to treat and understand anxiety please read the link below. It fit almost every one of my needs to a T. And someone that you know that may have anxiety would be so grateful for your compassion.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Dear US Airways, Your customer service stinks, bad. You definitely need to work on your automated man who answers the phone when you call your 1-800 number because he stinks too. I called to book my flight using a reward travel certificate (that you can only use by booking over the phone &#8211; which is ridiculous) and was asked to &#8220;call back&#8221; at least 20 times, due to bad weather. Seriously? It&#8217;s March, the weather isn&#8217;t THAT bad. You seriously can&#8217;t answer the phone because you&#8217;re swamped re-booking flights due to bad weather for three straight weeks? I called around the clock and it was the same story every SINGLE time. Honestly, I called at least 50+ times trying to book this trip and waited for 2+ hours on hold several times. I wasted at least a full 24 hours of my life sitting on the phone waiting for you to answer the call that is &#8220;very important to you&#8221;. I even called the special number on the back of my preferred US Airways MasterCard, finally got someone to answer the phone, and they told me they&#8217;d give me an &#8220;insider&#8221; number to use to call and get a human being. I was satisfied with this, until I found this exact number is listed on the website &#8211; it&#8217;s the number you call to book a reservation by phone! Thanks for the &#8220;insider tip&#8221;&#8230;what a joke! Anyway, I finally get through to someone at your company and they tell me I can&#8217;t use the reward certificate for this trip, due to &#8220;blackout dates&#8221;. Are you KIDDING me? I explain that I&#8217;ve waited (literally) three weeks to book this flight and now you&#8217;re telling me I can&#8217;t? So, they asked me to call back another time, with different dates, to book my trip. At the end of the day, after about 4 weeks of this mess, I ended up successfully booking a flight, but I have to say it was the most ridiculous, stressful way to have to do it. So, my advice to you, US Airways, would be: Stop telling me my call is important to you; it&#8217;s not. Seriously, get a new recording for us to listen to while you have us on hold for 2+ hours Get RID of blackout dates &#8211; it&#8217;s a scam Answer the phone Prepare for bad weather in the winter, duh! &#160; That&#8217;s all. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I believe it started with the phrase &#8220;Itty Bitty Titty Committee&#8221;, that&#8217;s the phrase that was what was mumbled to me in early high school. I realized I was not destined for a curvaceous womanly body; I was just a normal girl, with a normal body, and small breasts. I came to terms with my small chest. I knew which Victoria&#8217;s Secret bras would give me the ultimate effect of cleavage. I also knew that if I tightened the straps enough, I could create the illusion of mildly full breasts. On special occasions I would even insert those chicken cutlet things to fill out a special dress! (Crazy I know).  But, I was used to it. It worked for me. I came to the realization that this was my body, and I was happy with it.  And then my first child was born! My seemingly &#8220;Itty Bitty Titties&#8221; were full and perky! I felt womanly. My heart was bursting with love while my chest was bursting with cleavage. Oh the joys of nursing   Here I am, a year later and my full breasts are no where to be seen! What happened?!? Come backkkkk!  And who is this saggy, uneven, not-so-hot mess I see in the mirror! Is that what my new appearance is? Will I forever be the mom destined to wear a tankini!? It was time for drastic measures! I decided it was the time to consider fixing this unfortunate symptom of motherhood.  I researched and researched! I then made the decision to consider a breast augmentation.  But what can I expect? How do I know if this is the right decision for me?  It&#8217;s the morning of my consultation. The questions I have include the typical surgical ones including: size, silicone vs saline, position, incision site, healing time, complications, etc..  But the more anxiety provoking questions are the ones hanging over my head. Will I still feel like &#8220;me&#8221;? Will I have a safe surgery? Is the risk verses the reward worth it? Will my husband look at me the same way?  I am sure all of these worries are normal and part of making an important life changing decision. But, here we go! Today may be the first step towards finding a solution to my oh-so-unimpressive breasts.  Stay tuned for the post-consult decision. ]]></description>
